Cold agglutinins revealed by abnormalities to the cell blood count [PDF]
The Pan African Medical Journal, 2021 Cold agglutinin are erythrocyte antibodies which possess the property of agglutinating red blood cells at temperatures of below 37°C, this phenomenon is reversible after heating. This is usually immunoglobulin M (IgM) class.

Platelet cold agglutinins and thrombocytopenia: A diagnostic dilemma in the intensive care unit
Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology, 2014 We report a case of pseudo-thrombocytopenia due to cold agglutinins against platelets. These cold agglutinins were the cause for diagnostic confusion and resulted in extensive workup and unnecessary therapeutic precautions.
